I love computers and open source software. Oml.

It’s sad that people who don’t know what it’s like will probably disagree with you, and to be honest I do not have a entirely better solution as it feels like it requires positive intent not specific stipulations (Russia and North Korea for example take it to the other side of the extreme). The width and depth of the human experience remains one of it’s worst characteristics. 🫠

That’s literally how any update on a computer ever will work. Real downsides worth mentioning would be like “you’ll be unbootable, you can’t rollback, it’ll update a bunch of other packages, it might delete user home”. Having to select an old entry in your grub config at boot because the new kernel doesn’t play nice with any number of custom peripherals or packages on your system is not what I would consider a serious downside and you’d have to do it if Kubuntu decided to roll a kernel update anyway. Do you uh, use linux?

Have you tried moving to a newer kernel? It should be working with Nvidia latest and KDE latest (Mine is solid on CachyOS) so it could be a kernel bug for you. No real downside to installing a newer one; but depending on your setup there could be a few regressions that might force you back to stable.

The technology to disguise a robot as an insect currently exists. Do you give thought and inspection to every fly that passes by?

Pipewire is my goat

Actually, that one was interestingly both corporate sabotage as well as poor design. The law detailed that all products containing materials known to increase risk of cancer have labeling as such, at first listing only things that the common person would definitely want to know about. Formaldehyde for example. Companies producing products with these chemicals did not like this, and sued to add a laundry list of additional chemicals to the bill under the context that in lab settings they’ve been shown to increase the risk of cancer… And well go figure, they didn’t specify a “significant risk” or anything sane like that in the law, so now pretty much everything that has even a inkling of cancer risk increase gets labeled. Good intent, terrible execution, corporately ruined.

😤 I’m upset I never thought about it this way till now.

I don’t know if it’s on the icon, I believe you have to use the cli “tailscale status” to view your tailnet nodes connection types

Is it possible you misconfigured your tailnet and instead of using a direct connection to your local subnet router you were using an ethereal port via a DERP relay? You can read into it more on tailscales documentation, but essentially you need to leave UPD inbound port 41641 open to your subnet router inbound from WAN.

Tailscale, headscale, or something along those lines may help optimize the route but as others have said to resolve this is an actual fashion you’d need a cdn which requires significant geo-redundant hardware which comes at a pretty significant cost. That being said I think your friend has a good shot if you implement the former.

Fair enough. I just operate under the assumption deleted means deleted, I’d never toss Auth keys in userspace but I could absolutely see myself placing them temporarily in scripts I’d delete later.

There’s no possible way they could do this since it’s not bootloader locked. If they did, sure they’ll sell a ton, but it would be used for all sorts of random junk instead of the steam store which wouldn’t generate them any profit and additionally would likely frustrate gamers due to extremely limited stock. We’ll all just need to swallow larger electronics prices until new fabs come online or the ai bubble pops.

Honestly this should be treated as a security vulnerability as well as a general bug, no?

And definitely!

Since you clearly plan on keeping this equipment for the long-term, you may be better served by a newer lower power option that will likely be more performant for less long term cost.

Bringing non-disposable technology to China is a mistake in most circumstances.

Zero tier. I went tailscale originally, and they’re good, but their mdns support doesn’t exist and several services rely on it. (For me, the showstopper was time machine backups)

About to be 6.0000001% when my Kubuntu download finishes. I’m finally taking the dive boys, linux on main here we go.

The year of the linux phone is almost upon us…
